Anonymous Support Group Client

"It is hard to put into words what this group did for my soul, my confidence, and my self-love. I felt like a part of a queer community for maybe the first time ever. I belonged."

Anonymous Support Group Client

"The Expansive Community has been beyond incredible in providing not only a safe space to explore all things like gender, sexuality, queerness, etc, but also a space where I’ve been able to meet new people and create friendships in the queer community!"

Anonymous Relationship Therapy Client

“My partner and I were looking for a queer therapist who could see us when we lived in different states. We've had a great experience both administratively and in session. Affordable too, relative to other options we explored.”
